I wrote a perl script some time ago which parsed the output from
"bppllist -U -allpolicies" into a CSV file, to give to management as
something which listed all of our backup definitions.  It could be a
starting point for something like this, with a bit of work in VBA I
expect to create an Excel macro, to "prettify" it some more.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Policy Time Grapher


Hi all. I'm a first time submitter. I haven't seen anything come through
since I've been watching this subscription but our team needs a little
help. 
 
I'm looking for a product or application that can take all of our policy
start and finish windows and graphically present them to us so when we
make new policies or add clients, it makes it easier. We are also trying
to split out our production, test, and dev environments so prod gets a
higher priority. 
 
Here is an example of something we did in excel but it's a manual
process and takes a huge amount of time.  (not sure if the screen shot
will come through) 
 

 
 
Here is what we have in our environment.
Veritas NetBackup 5.1 MP4
Solaris 9 / 64 bit
 
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
